Quote:
Attorney Brett Greenfield, who represents the family of the teen girl who threw the punch, released a statement to Eyewitness News:

"My client and her family are deeply and sincerely remorseful.  This is a unfortunate incident involving a very hard working and promising student athlete.  We must keep some perspective and keep in mind that this is a young minor who has made a mistake."

"The comments on social media in response to this incident are a cause of great concern for both the minor and her family.  We would respectfully request that she be given the benefit of the doubt and that her privacy be respected given her young age."

"Benefit of the doubt"?!  Is he the one with the concussion?  Is he the one facing years of physical therapy?

I hope the basketball player and her mother get sued for everything they have! :evil:

It turns out that the attacker is Cori Benjamin, the 15-year-old daughter of Corey Benjamin and Tyra Hunt.

Bullying victims at school get punched in private often with parents telling their bully children to "use your fists". Neither the parents or the bully go to jail 99.99% of the time.

The mother might have to told the girl "rough her up" but couldn't have been dumb enough to "sucker punch" her in front of the entire school and in front of cameras. I think the teen might have overdone the instructions.
